Booting into recovery has worked 100% reliably for me in the past. Are you saying that CWM/Recovery Redirection isn't in this ROM? That is what I am under the impression of at this point. Is this just an issue with the ROM itself, or something that needs to be taken care of because of the EC05 update, as CWM3 had to be updated for support when EB13 was released.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Loving this rom, big ups to k0nane thank you much! Quadrant scores are soaring compared to stock. I have yet to assess the battery life, but I think I need to calibrate battery stats before I make any judgements. GPS seems more stable than stock, but a little inaccurate in a few programs (a city off on my weather location, and half a block on Google maps). I do have a question about the wireless tethering: when I use the wifi tether included with the rom the sprint hotspot appears in notifications; am I able to use this for free, or is it included for people who pay the $30 sprint hotspot charge?

Edit: forgot to give cred to impaler. One of my Hero heros
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It's free.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Uh, I got CWM 3.0.2.4 to run just fine. No Odin needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
So after some pretty heavy use, I set the phone down for 20 minutes. Pick it up and do some internet surfing, and it completely freezes on me (using Dolphin HD). I have no choice but to do a battery pull, and it boots up just fine, launch the web again, and then if freezes. Remembering reading in the previous posts, that if you are having issues, to flash a different kernel. Well, I flashed the vision kernel because it's from ACS. Restarted the phone, and upon boot up, everything was FC'ing. Turned off the phone, booted back into recovery and did a fix permissions. Restarted, and it worked for about 5 seconds, then all the FCs starting coming back. I'm currently reflashing.

And now it's stuck at the Samsung screen. YAY!

Restarted again, now constant FC. WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Do a fix permissions from the ROM Manager app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
I did it from CWM3. Then after the reboot, I couldn't do anything. It was in a loop of FCs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] heroforme:
Flash the 1.0.4 kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
Ok. Just went through flashing....... watched the videos.... phone boots up... everything goes smoothly, and about a minute to two minutes in it LOCKS up. sigh.

I've already reflashed once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] heroforme:
Do you have a nandroid backup? If so, restore it and fix permissions in CWM3.

Try the 1.0.4 kernel if that doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
took out the SD card, problem solved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Ok, flashed 1.0.4. Seems to have stopped the fcs. Hopefully this fixes it all.

I'd give you a "thank you" but I'm all used up till tonight. So here is a "thanks" :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] heroforme:
No problem. Just glad I could help out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
where is this 1.0.4 kernal? I used the search button and it says no results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
It's just the older version of the Twilight Zone kernel that seems to work better for some people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Well eventually all these great roms will become to great for phones to handle. Lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Second post of this thread in the changelog.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
That's when their ACTUAL EOL is ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gurusux:
wanted to thanks the developers for this great ROM. I just love my phone. Great performance, unmatched battery life and i can keep on going. Thanks again for everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, and it's in the twilight zone thread. :D

Glad you like it :) Thanks for your support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
I went to sleep and woke up to a phone with no audio. Rebooted and it was back. Odd
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
The video camera now says "camera failed" with the old kernel :(.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that was a bug in the old kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
This is one speedy ROM. My biggest complaint about anything stock was how slow the orientation switching was with my setup. I run Beautiful Widgets' "Beautiful Home Weather" (4x2), BattStatt (2x1), & two Desktop Visualizer widgets (1x1 each) on my home screen. Now, there's no delay at all... it's instant!

Luckily, I've never run into any of the issues that I read about here with data corruption, GPS, etc. Just lucky I guess! :D

So much faster than stock and blazingly fast compared to my old Hero! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, much better ;) :D You can calibrate the rotation to make it faster if you'd like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZeppelinJ0:
Dearest theimpaler747,

How does one, namely myself (ZeppelinJ0, your friend), go about calibrating said rotation for said fasterness so my said phone stops being so slow when I, ZeppelinJ0, rotate my screen?

Also how do I get the pink unicorns to stop chasing me out of my house and eating all of my dog's food?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Download terminal emulator from the market. Open it, and type this in:

su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

Then follow the steps! :D As for the second issue, no clue there ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Never fails to deliver.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZeppelinJ0:
The greatness of this utility is second only to you for bringing it to my unworthy attention!!

May the rest of your day be blessed with an abundance of adorable white rabbits that crap limitless amounts of delicious skittles. Taste the rainbow!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, will do, glad it worked, hope that rainbow rabbit presses my thanks button ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Always good for a laugh!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
Impaler - I'm not but even when I was it says you have to be on sprint or nextel and it closes. K0nane said mystery was workingon a patch and said it be posted "tomorrow" like 3 days ago...

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ummm.... I'm sorry, I have no clue what you're talking about :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
Flashed this and got hung on what seemed to be a boot loop situation where the boot animation ACS logo kept looping, and my phone would pulse the vibe every time it looped (e.g. like a boot loop)

Couldn't restart from there so I pulled the battery, wiped data/cache/dalvik the requisite 3x and am now flashing again. Currently still in the process of flashing but I will need to head off to work soon. I may not update on this until later!

Well that was quick. Looks to be working great! Just need to restore apps and data from backup :) Baller.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What rom are you coming from?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capt_peo:
Great ROM! Love it, and the battery lasts all day now. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it, and thank you for your support for ACS! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Flashes the ROM last night and love it! I use the Sprint football app alot, so I flashed the removed apks file also. Now, I get a message "sorry, this app is for Sprint/Nextel customers only". Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I believe we're working on a fix currently :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
I've got a general question. I'm running Syndicate 1.0.2 or whatever the last EB13 version was and it's running really really smoothly and I'm getting great battery life. Is there really any advantage of switching over? I'm not interested in overclocking (actually, in undervolting instead xD) so I'm not entirely sure if it's worth switching.

And, yes, I read the changelog, there's just not anything that sparks my interest for flashing this one =/
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you want undervolting, the next version coming up (1.1.1) will peak your interest ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I take it you don't read other threads. I'm dealing with a loss in my family and that's my top priority.

I will have something as soon as possible
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
I'm sorry. I don't read the other threads. I send my condolences.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Thanks for the quick response! That's another thing I like about this ROM, always quick responses. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Or you could just flash it...

Not a problem, let me know if you need anything else :D

Im thinking about getting the epic 4g then flash this rom or should i get the nexus s 4g?

what types of benchmark scores are people getting with this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Benchmarks don't matter at all. I like the epic much better than the nexus s.

sounds good to me. im definitely going to get the epic then. also want the keyboard lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, yeah, and the SD card ;) :p Welcome (almost) to the Epic family :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
CM7 a3 - it works with either the eb13 radio or the ec05 radio, but I had rooted before installing that and made sure I had the ec05 radio. Not sure what caused the initial bootlooping (I wouldn't say a true bootloop because it was only the acs logo, the Sammy logo never showed) but pulling battery, wiping all 3x, and flashing again fixed it right quick. If anything I would guess it was related to the fact that I had CM7 on here, which was a GB rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, well glad you're back and running well :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:

No problem just hit the thanks button :) , have done that myself to keep track of backups and had to name them back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Ah, missed that since its from a completely different thread.

Edit: For anyone who reads this, don't flash what 063_XOBX linked to. It does not "work just fine". About 12 flashes later and trying to manually do it, a poster by the name of Koadic in that thread figured out that you have to modify the script in one of the files to point to "bin" instead of "xbin". Here is the link to his post:

After doing that, it flashed and actually worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djstr0be:
Does anybody know why my virus scanner keeps telling me theres a virus in the CWM3 zip? Every time i try to download it this happens.

EDIT: This is what its claiming is a virus..Exploit:Unix/Lotoor and its saying the alert level is severe! Please help me out guys im scared!!

EDIT 2:Well I just did some research and found that this is not actually a virus but the exploit used to root the phone..Its just weird that my virus scanner just picked this up because I must have downloaded the same CWM zip at least 10 times in the past..Strange huh?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
Hey guys, just checkin in. I have had this rom since the day after it was released, and still doing great! I had a few small things, but so far nothing I couldn't wiggle my way out of. Phone app froze up once, the call was gone but it said I was still on it... that was weird. but finally got it working by turning airplane mode on and off. Thats about it.

Still loving it! Thanks again for the hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
I believe I have seen people asking this before, and they have been told that it is actually a virus that roots your phone and won't cause problems with your computer at all. I'm only telling you this to calm you down while you wait for someone who knows for sure, ok. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Please don't shout at us. That is normal; it is the exploit used to root your phone.

Glad you like it and glad it's still running well :) We at ACS thank you for your support :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
It picked it up because it COULD be a virus.

Someone else could make a virus that automatically roots your phone and installs bad stuff to it without you knowing it. It is good that your virus scanner can catch it because if it ever detects it from something other than CWM3 then the exact same exploit could actually be dangerous.
[Epic 4G Android Development] notmyepic:
For step 3, is this the wipe data/factory reset or is the wipe data somewhere else?

I tried steps 1, 2, and 3 (with wipe data/factory reset) earlier today and did not have any phone/data service after that. Thanks heavens for backups, but still have force closes for media players (act 1 and stock).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Sweet jebus! How did you find the original name of the backup? I've been screwing up my backups and wondering why I always get a md5 mismatch.

Dunno if this is the ROM's fault, but I recently flashed this and started getting signal and/or data connection problems immediately. Any tips, before you tell me to wipe and reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Make sure you properly flashed the EC05 modem. If you continue to have issues, flash the EB13 modem posted a few pages back.

[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Sorry to ask this here... I did try asking in themes part of the forum, no activity there. I want to get the AOSP boot animation (the one that says "android") and typically you can get it by renaming or deleting the bootanimation.zip in system/media/ I tried that on this rom but what comes up is just the word "android" but it is in landscape mode and not animated. I've been searching all over and seen several people ask for an AOSP bootanimation.zip in other forums but nobody seems to have posted one. Was it completely removed and could somebody link me to it if you've seen it floating around.

No offense intended to ZHkilla, your animation is very cool, but I'm just a vanilla kind of guy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Best to not change the name. In the future if you want to keep good backups saved and labeled for future restore, perhaps copy them to a new folder and name the folder. But keep in mind to restore you will have to have it in its original location and name to restore.

Best to keep intact on phone and to use this method to backup on your computer only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
Thanks! Heck of a rom, too! One thing, though: my GPS doesn't get a lock. It's more than likely a hardware issue as it has never worked except for way back when my phone was fresh out of the box, and I bought it way back when it was first released. Any advice on a possible fix for the early runs of the hardware? Hardware version is D700.0.5. Nothing I do can coax a frackin' lock out of this thing.

e: Silly me, nothing except going all the way outside (being near a window didn't cut it, but being outside was OK. Also got a lock in my car) so THANKS A GIGATON for returning GPS functionality to this thing. It's actually something I've been wanting to have working for a while :) Now for another thing: When I run the Wifi Tether app, the Sprint Hotspot app fires up as well, which makes me worried - I can afford $30 but I'll be dipped if I'm going to pay it every single month because just because Sprint can charge me for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] notmyepic:
I am a newbie that doesn't understand all of the progamming, I just know that I love the way my phone is acting and looks with Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.1.0 and Emotional Beast theme.

I, too, would like to try the EB13 modem as my speedtest results have been terrible since going on EC05. Not sure if it's still Sprint pushing stuff out, or if it the modem.

I noticed in the above tar file that it has modem.bin. Do I just copy that file to the Epic and if so, where?

I have become very proficient in flashing from zip files and using odin with md5 files, but haven't come across a .bin before.

Thanks!

Someone asked and answered comparison between Epic and Nexus S.

I am very seriously considering this change for the simple reason of size and I do not use my keyboard. Can deal with no card, would love the size, but would miss root and my newest and face rom, love my setup thanks to you guys.

So will any of your programs, cmw, rooms work on this phone or does the 2.3 stop that. Can I Odin back and install?

Does the team have any plans to use or support this phone?

Does anyone else have any problems with the colors when on an almost all white screen you can see bars going across the screen. Looks to be like a red green blue kinda scrambled. It does it if the screen is on full bright. also the screen will flicker when openning apps with almost all white screen if on full bright. Will not do it if on med or on dim. Normally I never have it on full bright but was outside and had it on full bright. Changed the speed to 800 to see if it was the speed and it still does it. Any ideas what I should do. Other than that all else is working.

Hey guys, is anyone else having the same problem as me?

1.1.0 works so well on my phone for a few days and then I keep getting FC's, this is the second time that its happened. I don't do anything to the phone besides installing this rom and a few apps. I can't seem to put my finger on what's causing the problem and before I install 1.1.0 again, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this is happening, so any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Try flashing a different kernal after you flash the rom and see if it helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
which kernel? I mean it works fine for a few days, the last time I had to reinstall was last Wednesday I believe and its been working really well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Same thing happened to me the other day while browsing. The lines are kind of thick right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
For those who have enabled journaling, have you noticed much of a hit in speed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Oh, gotcha. The FC's might be due to a battery pull. If you don't properly shut down your phone you will get FC's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] victorythagr8:
What you are experience is the corruption of your data due to Journelling being off. App like quickboot, or even a battery pull will corrupt your data to the point the only way to fix it is to wipe you data and start the rom fresh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Ive had to restore my nandroid and i dont see any real change in speed. And nothing outside the tolerances of any of the benchmarking apps ive used.

Is there a way to check if Journaling is enabled, short of ripping the battery out of the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Dammit haha. I don't know what the hell quickboot is and I haven't pulled the battery, just did a restart because my messaging app wasn't functioning properly, one of my texts was hanging. Anyway, thanks for the help, I guess I'll have to go ahead and reinstall it again.

anyone have a link for standard WITH journaling enabled? I went to download but the link isnt there anymore. love the ROM but i cant take the no journaling anymore. my phone freezes up way to much to not have it enabled, i have to odin back and reflash atleast 2 or 3 times a week due to data corruption.

edit - found it on PPC geeks
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:

It was pulled because it wasn't working properly. The reason has been posted a few times probably ~100 pages back. :P

ahh damn well guess im canceling this download then. thanks for the heads up tho man
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
You can also download the non-journaled version, flash it and then do a CWM backup/restore to manually enable journaling.

K0nane may have the journaling versions fixed for v1.1.1 release. Though don't ask for an ETA. ;)
